Product FAQ

Is this business license API live?

No. This is a product page for reviewing the proposed response shape, source coverage, and buyer fit.

Would it verify a company's legal, tax, or compliance status?

No. The proposed product would provide source-linked public and licensed business-record data only. Buyers remain responsible for compliance, diligence, outreach, and qualification decisions.
